Deon January's son, DeAndre Morrow, was only in the Amazon facility struck by a tornado because he was called into work.
Attorneys representing victims of the December tornado that struck an Amazon facility in Edwardsville will hold a news conference Tuesday, May 3.
Two new lawsuits were filed in Madison County Circuit Court against Amazon and the engineering and design companies that participated in the construction of the Edwardsville distribution center that partially collapsed during a deadly EF-3 tornado on Dec. 10.
“The thing that caught my eye is that they were able to cite a number of other instances in which Amazon’s buildings were destroyed," said attorney John Lynch.
Both new lawsuits join a wrongful death lawsuit that was filed earlier this year on behalf of one of the six Amazon workers who died during the tornado.
